Hi!

This week I had the time to make a new version of de.yml suitable for trunk and 0.9-stable.

Changes:

• fixed typos, punctuation etc.
• changed some terms so they are consistent with the existing terms
• changed the default time format to "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M"
• regarding the translation from this issue: I already translated it to "Anlegen + nächstes Ticket". I hope this is OK for Lukas!
• added the translations from #4847
• reordered the lines so they are the same as in en.yml

I'm attaching the complete file because a diff doesn't make sense due to the reordering.

Any suggestions for improvements are welcome!

Sure. It was a little bit complicated to make a diff which only shows which lines changed (and not which lines have been moved around).

I had to read the old and the new de.yml file and output a sorted YAML version of each one:

#
# http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/5811
#
class Hash
  # Replacing the to_yaml function so it'll serialize hashes sorted (by their keys)
  #
  # Original function is in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml/rubytypes.rb
  def to_yaml( opts = {} )
    YAML::quick_emit( object_id, opts ) do |out|
      out.map( taguri, to_yaml_style ) do |map|
        sort.each do |k, v|   # <-- here's my addition (the 'sort')
          map.add( k, v )
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

puts YAML.load(File.open(ARGV[0])).to_yaml

Finally these alphabetically sorted files could be diffed. I'm attaching the result as de.yml.only-for-demonstration.diff.

Commited to svn, thank you.

Very good corrections. But I think, we should be aware of the user of hyphens.
In German hyphens are used to avoid misunderstandings or to emphasise unknown word parts in new word creations.

Grundsätzlich gilt: Ein Bindestrich ist immer dort willkommen, wo es gilt, ein Missverständnis zu vermeiden oder einen Bestandteil hervorzuheben; er dient also dem Ziel, Klarheit zu schaffen.

So in my eyes, Ticketstatus is better to read than Ticket-Status.
That is my opinion. What do others think?
